A modular and scalable EV smart charge controller made both for private end-user and public parking places. Developed the core controller (embedded Linux) hardware of the ISO 15118 interface, CHAdeMO interface, and LTE modem board. Software architecture is based on a director process that handles task-specific processes via IPC. Each one acts as interface conversion between different technologies such as ISO 15118 and CHAdeMO brought to a common high-level interface. Hardware interface protocols have an independent microcontroller USB connected to the core controller.

Designed a digital signal processor specifically targeted for power conversion algorithms such as PID controllers and FIR/IIR filters, featuring high speed and high-resolution variables. Through a custom compiler, it is possible to define local variables, then combine them with input variables taken from high-speed and oversampled AD converters. Required computing is performed, and output variables are used to drive the power section. All definitions and computing instructions are compiled and translated to a binary format loaded on the fly into the DSP.
